Radiate Engineering becomes Beta Partner of 9T Labs AG

The Zurich based Start-up 9T Labs is a ETH spin-off and focuses on 3d printing of carbon composites. They print industry grade carbon composites parts for series production. The goal is to help customers to capture the potential of carbon fiber additive manufacturing.

Radiate Engineering is part of the recently launched Beta Partner program and is excited to be using 9T Labs’ technology in order to identify possible use cases for future client solutions.

Mattis Stolze joins the Radiate team

Radiate Engineering welcomes a new member to the team: Mr. Mattis Stolze.

As a trained Msc ETH with a focus on Product Development and Structural Mechanics, Mattis has in-depth know-how, which he has proven several times in cooperation with Helvetas and in his work in technical product development for the structural-mechanical design of wind turbines.

But Mattis can do even more: thanks to his experience in Innovation Management (leading  many Design Thinking Workshops at Spark Works and Spark Labs) and as an Innovation Coach at the ETH Zurich, Mattis ideally complements the Radiate Team in the area of ​​Innovation Consulting.

Next to his work at Radiate, there will be hopefully enough time left for ski tours and climbing for the passionate mountaineer.

Welcome to Radiate, Mattis!

 

Sponsoring of the ETH Moto Racing Project

Ten students of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich have set themselves the goal of developing a carbon frame for motorcycle racing. The final motorcycle will be shown at the Swiss Moto in February 2019. With the new carbon frame monocoque concept, the students also take part in the “MotoStudent” competition, a student competition in motorcycle racing. The project, which started in September 2017, examines how the advantages of carbon fiber can be combined with the requirements of a motorcycle frame, since a motorcycle chassis, despite the required rigidity, also has to offer a degree of flexibility, especially in inclined positions. In racing, although several attempts have been made to produce frames made of carbon fiber laminate, but ultimately returned all providers back to chassis made of steel or aluminum. By contrast, carbon frames and chassis are indispensable in bicycle construction and the automotive sector.

Radiate supports the project as a silver sponsor with, among other things, technical know-how and benefits in kind. We wish the ETH Moto Racing Team every success!

Jonas Schmid and Simon Grob become partners at Radiate

Jonas Schmid (left) and Simon Grob (2nd from right) are new partners at Radiate Engineering & Design. Both have been working at Radiate in Zurich since 2015. Jonas Schmid studied mechanical engineering at the ETH Zurich and completed his studies with a MSc ETH ME. He is responsible for the design in Lightweight Product Development at Radiate as “Head of Product Development”. Simon Grob also studied at ETH Zurich and completed his training with a BSc ETH ME. At Radiate, Simon is responsible for Simulation Engineering as a structural optimization specialist and is also responsible for IT services.

The two new partners will join Radiate’s founders, Timothy Habermacher and Frederic Poppenhäger, responsible for Composite Materials and Processes and Consulting and Business Development.
